Abstract:
Pursuant to delegated authority under the Defense Production Act (50 App. U.S.C. §§2061-2170), EO 13603, EO 12656, and 46 CFR 340; MARAD issues pre-emergency, standby Port Planning Orders (PPO) to the DoD-designated strategic commercial seaports (port) for providing port facilities to support military deployments during national emergencies. At DoD request (since the 1980's), MARAD has been collecting a Monthly Readiness Report from each port to validate the port’s ability to provide the PPO delineated facilities to DoD within the PPO delineated time frame. GAO Report GAO-14-184SU, dated February 02, 2014, recommended that MARAD collect additional data from the strategic commercial ports. DoD now requires this enhanced data on a quarterly basis for DoD contingency planning and readiness evaluation purposes. The collected information is required to obtain and/or retain benefits. All data collected from the strategic commercial seaports is maintained by the Office of the Associate Administrator for Strategic Sealift as For Official Use Only (FOUO) and is not intended for release to the public.
